Behind Locked Doors

“MURDER was the ONLY way out!”
Behind the locked doors of a mental institution resides crooked politico Judge Drake, free from prosecution so long as he acts crazy. To get the goods on Drake, private detective Ross Stewart has himself committed as a patient. Meanwhile, reporter Kathy Lawrence, posing as Stewart's wife, acts as his liaison to the outside world.
